I just started watching these to try and determine if I should blow over a hundred bucks on the new blu-ray set of 12 of these things. They're quite a trip. They're clearly just intended to be silly, ridiculous stuff, and there's a wonderful disconnect between the quality of the filmmaking and the intelligence of…

Do you honestly think that movie was trying to be an intellectual masterpiece of cinema and to scare people?

I can't believe anyone in this thread thinks it was supposed to be scary. It's like a carnival sideshow, it's just supposed to be ridiculous, disgusting, and fun. Reading any interview with HG Lewis reveals he's a smart guy that was simply aiming to provoke people and make money. They're stupid, silly movies and…

I don't think so, since he specifies "Harry Potter 7" instead of "The Harry Potter Series" so it looked like he was specifically listing adaptations that chop up the source material into more movies than there were books.

You realize there were three LOTR books, right?

How have I never heard of this before?! Thanks!

It was heavily implied right off the bat in the car, she was like the drag of a fifth wheel that they had to bring along because she was someone's sister. Did they really not say it then? I thought there were more lines about it at some point when she's getting upset in the cabin, too. But yes, the "YOUR SISTER…

It's everyone who's not an Evil Dead fan's favorite. Like, it gets watched a lot by the same kind of people that watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail or whatever in dorms. It's fine with me that one of the films has mainstream nerd appeal, but I think it pisses a lot of fans of the first two off for being so fully…

I was wondering why that percent was so high compared to this review. Another Dowding? It's a C instead of his standard C+, so I'm not sure if that translates to "probably good" like usual.

Weird. I thought he was one of the most easily-impressed critics out there?

Wow dude, you sound really cool! Congrats on not being a NERD.

I was wondering the same thing, thinking those two ~60% "outliers" were them and wondering if I'd imagined them having great RT scores. Nope, 92% for SLP!

You're not wrong, I just don't agree with you at all that Lake Wobegon should have been a cultural statement like Roots. Oh well.

Ah, thanks. I get it with the title. I guess the whole article was an attempt to match the title which just kinda got embarrassing quickly?

a) Hmm, maybe because the particular small town Minnesota that is portrayed on the show has very, very little diversity (having grown up in small town Wisconsin I can verify this is often the case - we had I think 7 POCs in a school of ~600), plus an old white man writing characters of color would have surely ended up…

I always give up on the Office at the end of Season 3. The season opener to 4 is so absolutely horrible and flattens all the characters into broad caricatures (ANDY IS…THE GUY WHOSE NIPPLES BLEED! HA HA HA!!! It's like the writers forgot what his character even was!) and sets the stage perfectly for how lame the…

Good question. I just clicked on it thinking it was new. Now I'm left wondering what the hell was the intended tone of this article (does the author hate Garrison Keillor? is it intended as some kind of parody of hypothetical Keillor haters? is it supposed to be funny? WHAT IS GOING ON?!) with no one to discuss…

For Your Eyes Only may be "drearier," but it's also far better-paced than Live and Let Die, which is so difficult for me to get through. For Your Eyes Only has a lot of good setpieces in it, particularly the extended infiltration of the mountain base at the end. It's exciting as hell.

Yup, this is one of the main reasons (well, beyond the obvious "Trump is a lunatic") I think you'd have to be insane to go from Bernie to Trump. She might be completely corrupt and in the pocket of Wall Street, but I think her choices for Supreme Court vs who Trump would elect are going to have far more impact 4…

Jane Seymour is incredible to look at in Live and Let Die, but I don't feel like it really has much of anything else going for it. The one impressive action sequence is completely deflated by the intercutting with that goddam sheriff character (who also ruins the next movie!!). Rosie is one of the most misogynistic…
